Devotion Curator: Developing into a concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Game was inspired from a comment I received from my previous presentation: “could play as an idol trying to hide from or avoid fans<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games similar to this concept:<\/strong> Dollmare, That’s Not My Neighbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Activity:<\/strong> Inspect gifts given to you using a variety of tools. Each tool has a different purpose, but they will have a cool down if overused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reward: <\/strong>Your company sends you emails the following day summarising your performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunity: <\/strong>Mid game, the player will be given gifts that’re harder to inspect. Offers a new level of difficulty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In terms of game loops, it doesn’t look that appealing. However, games such as “That’s Not my Neighbour”<\/em>, the repetitiveness and increase of difficulty is what makes it so fun. For this reason, I believe it’ll make a great game loop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prototyping process:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose to do a Unity prototype, although it’s a software with a steep learning curb, it offers a lot of tutorials online. I struggled a lot with the creation of the prototype, but I had a very good support tech to help me (Ross :3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose of this prototype:<\/strong> Show the mechanics and show how one of the tools interact with the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I did was to draw very basic outlines of my prototype art. This didn’t have to be hard or overcomplicated, I went on Procreate and quickly drew some assets that will be used for this prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All of these objects are separate , on different layers- this makes it easier for me to import into the scene as assets and move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once I had imported the assets, I worked on the point and click script, which only really needed to be applied to 3 objects: the magnifying glass, the gift box and the teddy bear on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used this tutorial to help me out: https:\/\/discussions.unity.com\/t\/implement-a-drag-and-drop-script-with-c\/472635<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once that was done, I asked Ross to help me with the magnifying glass. With this asset, I wanted the magnifying glass to zoom into the gift and it should look bigger. If it’s a bad gift, there should be some stitch marks (specifically for the plushies) as it implies that someone has tried to stuff something bad in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
